Cauliflower Risotto

 


Creamy Cauliflower Risotto


One thing we I think we can all agree on is that risotto is delicious. It’s also a rare find these days unless you hit up a fancy restaurant. Something so good and rich shouldn’t be a once in a while enjoyment so we replicated risotto with this Cauliflower Risotto recipe so you can enjoy it anytime you want and keep it keto!

Restaurant Remake Recipes!

Cooking at home can not only be a fun family activity, but it can save you money and time. However, eating out has it’s perks, the main one being delicious foods that you do’t know how to make at home. If you are in this boat then we have you covered with a lot of remakes on our food blog. Some of the favorites are:

1. Butter Chicken (Indian classic you can make with our keto naan!) 
2. Easy Cashew Chicken 
3. Pizza (this is a zero carb pizza crust you can top with your favorites)

Make It Creamy 

If you can’t tell from the pictures you’ll be able to quickly tell from looking at the recipe that this dish is packed with creamy ingredients from the grated parmesan to the fatty cream.

What we’ve given you below in the ingredients section is the perfect balance of butter to cream to cheese, however, you can always double any of the ingredients if you want a creamier, soupier version of this recipe. Personally, I would up the butter and cheese and top it with some pan seared chicken thigh for a perfect winter comfort meal. 

Note: here is an article about making risotto and how simple it can be. Obviously, ignore the part about using rice!

Get Creative

We kept this recipe pretty basic with cauliflower, cheese, butter and some mushrooms for a little texture and flavor. But, don’t feel limited to just the basics that we’ve given you here. Get wild with the fillings and toppings. Some great options that would add nice flavors/textures are asparagus, different types of cheeses (my favorite would be fontina) and seasonings.

A great way to finish off this recipe to make it a complete meal would be a simple grilled or blackened protein on top like chicken thighs or shrimp!

Easy Cauliflower Risotto

Not sold on a risotto remake using cauliflower? I get it. To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations for this dish. Sometimes rice just can’t be replaced, but I can assure you that for this dish in particular cauliflower does a great job replacing the rice. Using fatty, creamy ingredients and reducing the riced cauliflower down in chicken broth transforms bland, boring cauliflower to a flavorful risotto dish!
